Anthony Davis is on the cusp of breaking the single-season Kentucky record for blocks in a season. With a game on Tuesday at 9 p.m. against Arkansas looming and Davis sitting just one block shy of the school record of 83, the record will, in all likelihood, fall in a matter of hours. Davis’ pursuit of the record is impressive and all, but I’m much more interested in quantifying what his defensive presence actually means to this second-ranked Kentucky team.
